My last ex-Sweetie had a good friend who had that surgery while we were dating (she flew out to CA. to have it done). I never knew her starting weight or what she is down to now, as I haven't seen her in about a year, but she lost an entire Ratt (weight-wise. And I weigh around 220 lbs.), and was turning into quite the Honey!! I think she still weighs more than me, but at least she was making RAPID progress when I saw her last.
I have a friend who had it done 3 weeks ago and has been in such constant pain with complications and continuous dry heaves that even people who don't like him feel sorry for him. But he is losing 20 pounds a week
